Side Story:
Lugaw is a Filipino dish and is traditionally thought of as food for the sick. But it is actually a dish that can be enjoyed as breakfast, as snack or even as a main dish especially when enriched with chicken, boiled tripe, green onions, fried garlic and even egg. I usually make mine w/ chicken and boiled eggs.
